Christian Bale Jumps Behind The Wheel of Michael Mann’s ‘Ferrari’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Michael Mann has helmed some hits in his career like ‘The Last of the Mohicans‘, ‘Ali‘, ‘Collateral‘ and my personal fave of his, ‘Public Enemies‘, but he’s moving forward on a passion project of his that’s been in the works for 15 years and at one time involved the late Sydney Pollack, ‘Ferrari‘.
read comments (0)Christian Bale Exits the Steve Jobs Project!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Last week we brought you news that Seth Rogen was joining the Danny Boyle project to play Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak opposite Christian Bale’s Steve Jobs. Bale came to the conclusion that he felt he was not right for the part and has withdrawn.
Christian Bale and Seth Rogen To Star in Steve Jobs Biopic!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Steve Jobs is the topic of another biopic project. This time around Christian Bale is going to play the legendary genius opposite Seth Rogen’s Steve Wozniak. Bale and Rogen are shoring up a cast that will possibly include Jessica Chastain in an unspecified role. Alone, Jobs and Wozniak were brilliant, but together the tech world would never be the same once they launch Apple. Writer Aaron Sorkin has adapted Walter Isaacson’s biography, ‘Steve Jobs‘ for Sony. Oscar-Winning director Danny Boyle (‘Trainspotting‘, ‘Slumdog Millionaire‘) is leading the life story. David Fincher was originally attached as director but his demands of a $10 Million salary and full creative control was not met by the studio.
Christian Bale to Play Steve Jobs?!?!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
Don’t worry. If you were wanting more biopics about Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Computers, then you’re in luck. Recently, Sony is making yet another Steve Jobs pic and as of a week or so ago, Leonardo DiCaprio was set to play Jobs. But talks fell through and DiCaprio is no longer set to star. But don’t fret, Sony has someone else in mind. And that person is a superhero.
Christian Bale is Fincher’s Top Pick to Play Steve Jobs!!!
Hi, Jana here,
Move over, Ashton Kutcher! He may have Mila Kunis, but he does not hold a monopoly on playing Steve Jobs. Jobs was an American entrepreneur, marketer, and inventor, who was the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc. His name is interchangeable with other greats in the industry Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak and Tim Cook.

Dan Moran’s Top Films of 2018 and his Award Nominations!
This year I saw 102 new movies in 2018. That number is actual movies released in 2018. I count Netflix and streaming movies released this year because that is where we are heading but the majority of the 102 was in movie theaters. I decided not to rank my top movies this year because at the end of the day the difference between #10 thru #3 is usually based on my mood when I write the list. So I just put my top movies in ABC order.
My Favorite Movies Released in 2018!
The year of 2018 has come to a close and over the past 365 days, I’ve seen roughly 175 new films that were released. I had a ton of fun watching each and every single one of them, even if I came out sour towards a film. There were a ton of great films this year that ranged from big action blockbusters, emotional indie dramas, scary-as-hell films that still haunt me, and some laugh out loud movies that always put me in the right mood. I’d chalk 2018 as a winner in the movie business, because there are some films that came out that I will truly cherish for a long time to come.
4K UHD Review: ‘The Dark Knight Rises’!
THE FILM
The threats of terrorism, war, chaos, and financial ruin are all too real these days. ’The Dark Knight Rises’ dives into these issues on a massive scale, which makes any film in the Marvel universe look like mere “child’s play” (no reference to a knife-wielding murderous doll). Compared with the other Batman movies, everything is bigger in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ and there is so much more at stake. Not one second of this film is wasted, the writing and direction is straight to the point, cohesive, and comes across as totally fulfilling in its 164 minute run-time.
4K UHD Review: ‘Batman Begins’!
THE FILM
Since 1989, we were thrilled to have Batman movies. In 1989, we received are first big budget Batman film from newcomer director at the time Tim Burton. It went onto be a box office sensation and spawned three more sequels, which became increasingly worse and silly. By the time the 4th film got around, it was more like watching a slapstick cartoon than anything good or resembling Batman. In fact, the franchise became a joke. Then came along Christopher Nolan who made his trilogy of Batman films, starting with ‘Batman Begins‘, which told a much darker and realistic side of the Dark Knight. The results were astounding on both critical and box office fronts.
4K UHD Review: ‘The Dark Knight’!
THE FILM
‘The Dark Knight‘ is one of those rare instances where the sequel is even better that it’s previous original movie. I would say that this film is perhaps one of the greatest, if not the greatest superhero film of all time so far. In addition to that, it’s just a fantastic film itself that can compete with any movie out there. This sequel picks up with Batman in the prime of his justice restoring and bringing criminals to jail. Christian Bale is better than ever here as Batman and we see how him being the caped crusader is taking a toll both physically and mentally on him. He still manages to come through though each time. But soon enough, comes The Joker, played flawlessly by Heath Ledger.
The ‘Christopher Nolan 4K Collection’ is coming December 19th!
If you’re like me, then you have grown to love filmmaker Christopher Nolan over the years. Come December 19th, most of his films will be released on 4K UHD for the first time ever. The films include the ‘Dark Knight Trilogy‘, ‘Inception‘, ‘The Prestige‘, ‘Interstellar‘, and the recent ‘Dunkirk‘. Each film will come with HDR as well, meaning a richer and deeper looking image for each movie. Each film will feature extras, the standard Blu-ray Disc, and Digital Copies of each movie. The whole collection will retail at about $150 with the ‘Dark Knight Trilogy‘ retailing at around $70. Of course with the holidays coming up, expect big discounts everywhere for these.
4K UHD Review: 3:10 to Yuma!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
THE FILM
Filmmaker James Mangold has certainly made a name for himself in the Western genre of cinema with the likes of 3:10 To Yuma and more recently Logan. The guy knows how to tell a thrilling story set in the old west as we’ve seen before. Prior to this 2007 version of the film, author Elmore Leonard (Jackie Brown, Get Shorty), wrote a short story, which was adapted into a 1957 film called 3:10 To Yuma. Mangold thought it would serve as a great remake in these modern times and he wasn’t wrong, while he added a few new story conflicts to this great 2007 version.
Film Review: ‘The Promise’!
Audrey E., here….
If done right, who doesn’t appreciate a muscular war film decorated with a cherry of passion on top? Based on true events, ‘The Promise,’ directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker Terry George (Hotel Rwanda), had the capacity to convey a burning love story intertwined with the real Armenian genocide during World War I. However, inspired thematic violence and even Christian Bale can’t guarantee your film’s success.
We’ve Got The Schedule For The Dallas International Film Festival 2017!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,

Terrence Malick’s new film ‘Song to Song’ has a New Rockin’ Trailer!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
Some people love his films. Some hate his films. No matter which side of the spectrum you’re on, you have to agree that every one of Terrence Malick’s films look exquisitely beautiful. With movies like ‘Tree of Life‘, ‘Knight of Cups‘, ‘The Thin Red Line‘, ‘Badlands‘, and ‘Days of Heaven‘, you can’t help but become entranced in the story, characters, and visual spectacle of Malick’s filmmaking process. His past few films have mostly shown a variety of characters who rarely say anything on screen, but instead narrate the movie as it goes along, giving a better visual masterpiece of cinema than a dialogue driven movie.
Warner Bros. & DC Pushing ‘Green Lantern Corps’ Film With David Goyer!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Warner Bros. and DC have been tossing the turd that was ‘Green Lantern‘ around since 2011, wondering how and where do they go from here? Well, David Goyer may turn out to have the saving solution, write a new script and move forward.
Cast Updates For Jake Gyllenhaal, Lizzy Caplan and Rosamund Pike!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
In exciting casting news, we have a few updates to be made from brilliant actors Jake Gyllenhaal, Lizzy Caplan and Rosamund Pike. First up is the addition of Gyllenhaal to the Daniel Espinosa (‘Child 44′) directed ‘Life‘.
Film Review: ‘Knight of Cups’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
There are two types of people in this world. Those who love Terrence Malick films and those who don’t. I tend to be the former in all aspects, from his films ‘Days of Heaven‘, ‘Badlands‘, and ‘The Thin Red Line‘. Recently, Malick has become more experimental with his filmmaking, with the amazing ‘Tree of Life‘ and ‘To the Wonder‘. Malick hasn’t been telling traditional narratives in a sense of the standard Hollywood formula, but rather has told a story with very little dialogue exchanged between characters as they walk through cityscapes and nature with a narrator voice over, detailing a stream of consciousness.
Terrence Malick has a new film called ‘Knight of Cups’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
Say what you will, but director Terrence Malick is brilliant. I love all of his films. He has a unique eye and lens that perfectly captures life and people. With films like ‘Days of Heaven‘, ‘Badlands‘, ‘The Thin Red Line‘, and ‘Tree of Life‘, you can tell that Malick is one of the better filmmakers still working today. His new film ‘Knight of Cups‘ looks beautiful, but I wish it was a mix of some sort of beer pong and LARPing. Could you imagine Malick doing something like that? I wish. Here is the new trailer for the film, which looks to have a great cast and releases March 4th.
Check Out The Full List Of Oscar Nominees!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,

Hey guys, Jana here,
I’ve got your cheat sheet for the winners and losers from last night’s Golden Globe Awards, so let’s get to it!!!
Film Review: ‘The Revenant’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
Could this finally be the year for Leonardo DiCaprio to take home that Oscar gold? It very well could be for his performance in ‘The Revenant‘. This is a movie that went through a few directors and actors before it landed on the ‘Birdman‘ director Alejandro G. Inarritu and Leo. At one point the studio wanted Park Chan-wook (‘Oldboy‘) to direct Samuel L. Jackson in the film, but that all fell through. Then the film went to John Hillcoat to direct Christian Bale in the film, before landing on Inarritu and DiCaprio.
Film Review: ‘The Big Short’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
We all remember the horrible times from 2007-2010 with all that went on with the housing crises and stock market crash. Tons of people lost their homes, went broke, lost their jobs, and even committed suicide. This was all due to the major banks and loan officers, giving people bad loans no matter what their income situation was. After a little while, everyone started to default on their home loans and all of the banks failed, which forced the hardworking middle class people to bail them out with our own money.
And the 2016 Golden Globe Nominees Are….
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
The awards show is January 10 on NBC hosted by Ricky Gervais. First off, let’s look at something AWESOME here. ‘MAD MAX: FURY ROAD‘ is nominated for BEST PICTURE. It needs to win. It should win. And if does win, we all go streaking. That being said…I can’t believe that ‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl‘ was not nominated for anything. Come on. It’s one of the BEST films of the year. It’s also interesting to see no love for the final season of ‘Mad Men’ her either. Oh well.
Here is the list of nominees:
‘Knight of Cups’ Trailer Is A Treat For The Senses!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Amy Winehouse Biopic In Production With Noomi Rapace To Star!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
The tragic story of Amy Winehouse is being prepped to splash across the big screens in a biopic Irish filmmaker Kristen Sheridan is in the process of writing and directing with financing from Lotus Entertainment.
Check Out The Trailer For ‘The Big Short’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
‘The Big Short‘ comes from director Adam McKay, and if you’re familiar with his films and Will Ferrell, you know the two go hand in hand. ‘Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy‘ and the sequel, ‘Step Brothers‘, ‘Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby‘ and more, this project takes a departure from the funny and drops hip-deep into the dramatic.
Ten Great Lesser-Known Films Starring Big Name Actors!!
Paul N., Here…
You might find yourself reading the following list, thinking “Hey! I’ve seen all these movies! How dare you claim them to be ‘lesser-known’!” My response to you, should you say such a thing, is “congratulations.” You see, just because you are a film nut like me, doesn’t mean that the rest of the populace is. The following is a list of ten good films with big-named actors that somehow slipped under the general radar. I’m not saying they are completely unknown, but based upon ticket sales, it certainly seems like they slipped the notice of the general public. These are all solid films that, should you enjoy these actors, you definitely want to check them out (the films, not the actors – although to each their own, I guess).
Adam McKay’s ‘The Big Short’ Picks Up FOUR Leading Men!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
When you look at the raging success of films ‘Moneyball‘ and ‘The Blind Side‘, besides being highly bankable projects, they have another thing in common, both began as a novel that flowed from the pen of author Michael Lewis. When Paramount Pictures turned its creative eye towards another Lewis novel, ‘The Big Short‘, it came as no surprise that several acting giants have agreed to headline the adaptation, together.
Brad Pitt Assembles Acting Dream-Team For ‘The Big Short’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Brad Pitt has found another Michael Lewis bestseller he hopes will be just as big a hit as ‘Moneyball‘ was. ‘The Big Short‘ is a non-fiction book about the build-up of the housing and credit bubble during the 2000s. It spent 28 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list.
Film Review: ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’!!
Janet W., Here…
Exodus: Gods and Kings opened with a brief accounting of the enslavement of the Israelites. The panoramic shots of the in progress building of Egypt’s statues, pyramids, etc. looked awesome. I hadn’t enjoyed such detail and expanse since The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Meet The Super-Family With Superman Origin Series ‘Krypton’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
There’s a new comic book series on the horizon, and it doesn’t really even focus on one of our most loved heroes, but an ancestor of his. Where ‘Gotham‘ tells the stories of a crime-riddled city and it’s citizens, ‘Krypton‘ will focus on the planet and it’s inhabitants before Superman’s birth.
Podcast #48 – ‘Richie Rich’/Channing Tatum/’Leatherface’/Cartoon Characters!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
The Multi-Media Men are back with the 47th episode that covers all things in the entertainment industry. We had a great adventure this time around and had tons to discuss. It was a small week this week with Susan Kamyab from This Chix Flix , Adam Conway from Angelika Film Center, Gadi Elkon from Selig Film News, and Andrew Conway. It was a lot of fun to say the least. We discussed our Halloween events and parties, cartoon characters we would kill and have sex with, Christian Bale, Steve Jobs, Channing Tatum, Michael Bay, a new ‘Leatherface‘ film, and some MUST-SEE movies for the last two months of 2014. It was great fun. Let us know if you agree or missed anything.

Fernando’s Film Review of ‘John Wick’!!
Fernando M., Here….
Remember all those times you made fun of Keanu Reeves? Well get ready to eat your words you nonbelievers! Reeves is fixin to show you what pain is for 90 minutes of gun shooting neck breaking knife stabbing throat crunching action! The plot is as timeless a tale as our childhood stories of yesteryear. Who doesn’t remember that lovable parable about the old retired hitman who gets wronged by the Russian mob….oh….well anyways, that’s the plot. It is an incredibly simple setup for a fantastic revenge story.
First Look At Ridley Scott’s ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’!!!
Hi everyone, Jana here,
We all know Christian Bale is a busy guy, he was in the Golden Globe winning and Oscar Nominated ‘American Hustle‘. He has 4 projects in varying degrees of completion at the moment. One of these is the Biblical epic of ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ where Bale takes on a new role as Moses.
John Cusack Enters the Wall Street World!!!
Hello, Jana here,
When you set a series in the world of Wall Street, you need characters colorful enough to not get lost in the atmosphere. Take ‘The Wolf of Wall Street‘, for example, Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal of Jordan Belfort was larger than life. He had to be outrageous to stand out in the fast-paced, high-stakes land of the almighty dollar. Christian Bale’s version of Patrick Bateman from ‘American Psycho‘ stands out just as much. Granted, these personalities are not what you would assume to be the norm for traders working on Wall Street, but the ambience definitely fosters these type of personalities.
Rob Zombie and Bret Easton Ellis Teaming up for Manson Series!!!
Jana B. here,
Rob Zombie and Bret Easton Ellis are teaming up with Alcon Television to develop a project for Fox that takes us back to the morbid and attention grabbing incidents surrounding the Manson Family and the murder spree that ensued in August of 1969. Some of us may not have been alive during that time, but if you pay any attention at all to current events you have probably seen the different appeals and hearings for release some of the members have gone through since then. I know the history inside and out but it’s just because I’m a little different than normal people. I am fascinated by serial killers and have read everything on the subject I can get my hands on. At one point, I wanted to be a Psychiatrist that specialized in serial killer tracking…just like Alex Cross from the James Patterson novels. I didn’t end up doing that, but I still read or watch everything on the subject. Some nights I sleep with a baseball bat under the bed , each night I’m grateful for the shotgun that is less than 5 feet from me.
And The Oscar Nominees Are….
Hi, Bryan Here….
It’s that time of year again when the stars and filmmakers all get together and honor the best of filmmaking over the year. Now the nominees are in, which this year was especially difficult to choose, as there was tons of great performances and films. Please let us know what you think of the nominees. Who got snubbed and who are you excited for? The Oscars will air live on March 2nd. Chris Hemsworth is out to announce the nominees as this Oscar ceremony has a superhero theme.
2014 Golden Globe Winners!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
I know I’m a bit late with this news, but this past Sunday, all of the stars and filmmakers gathered for a night of jokes, drinks, food, and of course – awards. The Golden Globe winners were announced Sunday live on television with hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett,’Breaking Bad’, and ’12 Years A Slave’ were some of the winners. Below is the list of every winner for your enjoyment.
Zoe Saldana Cast as Rosemary in NBC’s ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ Remake!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
Zoe Saldana has been cast in NBC’s four-hour miniseries “Rosemary’s Baby,” an adaptation of the 1967 best-selling suspense novel by Ira Levin. Saldana will play Rosemary, the iconic young wife and would-be mother who, with her husband, moves into a Paris apartment that has a darkly storied past. After finally getting pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious that both her husband and their mysterious neighbors have ulterior motives about the future of her child.
Bryan’s Film Review: ‘American Hustle’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Formally titled ‘American Bullshit‘, director David O. Russell has generated a lot of buzz for this film over the last few months. Coming off his Oscars for ‘Silver Linings Playbook‘ and ‘The Fighter‘, you might think ‘American Hustle‘ might be on par with his previous two films. While this movie is indeed great, it lacks any sort of depth or meaning that Russell has embraced in his previous efforts. But what he lacks in depth and meaning, he makes up ten fold in acting, characters, and insanity. I have no doubt that this 1970’s comedy con-artist film will wow audiences with its comedy and sex appeal, but don’t expect a “think piece” here. With tons of other choices this holiday season, it’s difficult to say how this will do at the box office, but with an A-List cast and the amount of hype this has, I imagine decent returns.
Fernando’s Film Review: ‘American Hustle’!!
Fernando M., Here….
I think i just got played. David O’ Russell was shooting for his hat trick with ‘American Hustle’. In 2010, we got “The Fighter,” an amazingly emotional story about loss and addiction. 2012 brought us “Silver Linings Playbook,” an incredibly off beat comedy littered with lovable yet slightly bizarre characters and a different take on a familiar plot. Both of these films were highly praised and proved that Russell is one of today’s more impressive directors. Read the rest of this entry »
And The Golden Globe Nominees Are….
Hi, Bryan Here….
Here are the nominees for the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. Wow, there were a lot of snubs here. And how did ‘Rush‘ make the list for Best Picture? No way! And what about ‘The Way Way Back‘, ‘Mud‘, or ‘Short Term 12‘ not being nominated? For shame. Let me know what you think of this nominee list?
Film Review: ‘Out of The Furnace’!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
Scott Cooper’s second film ‘Out of The Furnace‘ has a lot going for it. The script and especially its amazing A-List cast might draw out a decent crowd, but a sour taste might be left in your mouth after the end credits start to roll. Cooper’s first film was ‘Crazy Heart‘ and had some similar somber tones to it as this film does, but it’s nowhere near how brutal ‘Out of the Furnace‘ truly is. But what makes this blue-collar flick ultimately suffer is the amount of filler that has nothing to do with actual premise of the movie and keep the film from moving forward at a steady pace.
FX Wants An ‘American Psycho’ Series!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Looks like Patrick Bateman will still be returning videotapes, as FX wants the ‘American Psycho‘ storyline and characters for a tv series. Allison Shearmur and Stefan Jaworski are behind the project. ‘American Psycho‘ was first a novel written by Brett Easton Ellis, and is still considered one of the best books of the decade. In 2000, a movie was made based on the book that starred Christian Bale as Bateman, a successful CEO in 1980’s New York who moonlights as a sadistic serial killer.
Ben Affleck Is The Next Batman!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
It’s official. Ben Affleck will play Batman in the ‘Man of Steel’ sequel. We previously reported that the next ‘Man of Steel‘ film will feature Batman, but Christian Bale said many times that he did not want that role anymore. We heard a bunch of different names being tossed around, Affleck being one of them. However, I never thought he would be the chosen one. I mean, he’s O’Bannion.
Superman and Batman To Team Up For Next Film!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
We have confirmation that Warner Bros. is prepping a Batman and Superman film, a Flash film, and a Justice League film. The Warner Bros. panel is currently in session right now at San Diego Comic Con, which we will have updates on that very soon. What we do know is that all of these films have release dates. The Batman and Superman film will be released in 2015, which might be the ‘Man of steel‘ sequel, ‘The Flash‘ film will be in 2016, and ‘The Justice League‘ movie will be in 2017.
‘The Dark Knight’ Trilogy: Ultimate Collector’s Edition Will Debut in September!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Christopher Nolan’s reimagining of the Batman franchise beginning with 2005’s Batman Begins enjoyed phenomenal critical and box-office success. Now on September 24, Nolan’s three Batman films – Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises – will be released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment as The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector’s Edition. The six-disc set will feature all three films with their existing extra content, two new featurettes and exclusive new collectible memorabilia. This must-own collection for fans of DC Comics’ Caped Crusader is available in premium packaging and will sell for around $100.00. I’m willing to bet it’s cheaper than that though at certain retail stores. ***ARTWORK IS NOT FINAL***
‘American Psycho’ Is Slicing Its Way to the Stage as a Musical!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Break out your business cards and Huey Lewis albums, because everyone’s favorite CEO and serial killer is back. This time on stage in a musical. This coming December at the Almeida Theatre in London, Patrick Bateman will wreak havoc once again onstage in ‘American Psycho‘ the musical. Based on one of the greatest novels of all time by Bret Easton Ellis, this adaptation of ‘American Psycho‘ was written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, composed by Duncan Sheik, and directed by Rupert Goold, who are all A-List talent in their fields.
Rebecca Hall Joins Johnny Depp & Paul Bettany In ‘Transcendence’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…..
Official Press Release: Rebecca Hall is set to star alongside Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany in Oscar-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister’s directorial debut, TRANSCENDENCE, it was announced by Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove, co-founders and co-CEOs of Alcon Entertainment, which is financing and producing the project.
The ‘Justice League’ Movie Just Got Interesting!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
The good folks over at Latino Review have posted a bit of information that a lot of you will find exciting. It seems that Warner Bros., of course will be handling the ‘Justice League‘ film, but we have reported a few times on potential directors, producers, writers, and which superheroes would be in the first film. Needless to say, DC and Warner have been very tight lipped about anything ‘Justice League‘, as they are keeping the focus on their upcoming Superman film ‘Man of Steel‘, which we hear is the best movie of the year.
Blu-Ray Review: ‘The Dark Knight Rises’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…..
Christopher Nolan’s third and final installment of his Batman franchise ranks as the best film in the series. That’s difficult for me to say, as the first two films were so amazing. Even with Heath Ledger’s iconic and eternal role as the Joker in the previous film, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ far surpasses anything my imagination could have hoped for in film. Movies do not get better than ’The Dark Knight Rises’.
Film Review: ‘Alex Cross’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
‘Alex Cross’ was such a let down. James Patterson’s novel or novels about a clever cop did not adapt well to this particular film. I feel like this movie could have been 100 times better than it was. I think it was in the wrong hands from start to finish and it just completely imploded on itself. Maybe this will make money in the box office due to Tyler Perry’s fan-base wanting to see something completely different from the actor than what he normally does, but I don’t see people giving a second though, or really even a first thought while watching this poorly made movie.
FedMex Gives Us His Thoughts on ‘The Dark Knight Rises’!!!
FedMex Here….
So Christopher Nolan has finally completed his Batman Trilogy, and yes, you’ve heard correctly, it is quite likely one of the best trilogies ever made. It’s up to Star Wars levels of good, and let me tell you why.Christopher Nolan gave us three films, an origin story, a suspenseful thriller, and an EPIC conclusion. It’s very difficult to write this without going into spoilers, but here’s what I can safely say without giving anything away.
Bryan’s ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Review!!!

Find Out What Christopher Nolan and Tomy Hardy Have to Say About Bane!!!
Hi Bryan Here…..
Over at UK’S Empire Magazine, Tom Hardy and Christopher Nolan speak about the villain Bane from the upcoming Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. Hardy talks about playing Bane while Nolan talks about Hardy playing Bane. Hardy was an excellent choice for this role. From what little I’ve seen from the trailers and stills, this third Batman film will be epic. Read the exchange below.
FilmNation Sticking with Malick!!!
After the success of Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, FilmNation has entered an agreement with him to handle distribution and international sales of his next three films. Plot details on all three are nonexistent, but Malick and FilmNation have our attention from the cast listings alone.

“The Fighter” Trailer is up in Glorious Quicktime
Director David O. Russell (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees) has a new movie called “The Fighter” starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, and Amy Adams.
The synopsis: “The Fighter” is a drama about boxing champ “Irish” Micky Ward and his half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after nearly being destroyed by drugs and crime.”
This looks to be an Oscar contender and one of the better boxing movies to come out in a while.
According to IMDB, David O. Russell is slated to direct the adaptation to “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies starring Natalie Portman. Cool.

‘American Psycho’ The Musical, Coming to New York!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Ever hear of two things that shouldn’t go together but end up working? A bit of chocolate in your homemade chili, Kevin Youkilis as a Yankee, Catherine Zeta–Jones and Michael Douglas? OK, well maybe not them so much, anymore, but you get my point. ‘American Psycho‘ – the book by Bret Easton Ellis that made a 2000 movie with Christian Bale, evolved into a musical? Yup, you read that one right. Off-Broadway theater company, Second Stage is going to present the U.S. premiere. This has been discussed and debated, but ultimately it’s happened and coming to America next!
Bryan’s Top 20 Films of 2012!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
I can’t believe that 2012 is at its end and we are about to welcome 2013. This year has gone by so fast, and man, did I see tons of films. When I started making this 2012 list, I came up with 87 films that I enjoyed. Yes, you read that right, 87, meaning there were probably just as many films that I didn’t enjoy. Now, below is my top 20 of the year. I just couldn’t do it with 10 this year. And these are films that I watched in the theater or at home and that don’t necessarily come out this year, but I did see this year. And I’m sure I’ll get a lot of criticism for my list, but hey this is my list, not yours. You can have your own. But my lists tend to be different than most people’s as you can tell from my previous lists HERE. So without any further delay, below is my TOP 20 films for 2012.
12 Killed, 38 Hurt At A Colorado Midnight Batman Screening!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
This is definitely not the type of new I want to share on a Friday, but it needs to be said. About 20 minutes into the midnight showing of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ at a Century 16 Theatre in Aurora, CO, a gunmen opened fire in the theatre on the audience and killed 12 people and injured 38.
The Third Batman Film Moves From Chicago to Pittsburgh!!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
The past two Batman films have been filmed in the Chicago area and they have looked phenomenal there. It actually looked like what I picture Gotham to be. It was beautiful and haunting all at the same time. Now, Nolan has announced that he will film the third Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises” in Pittsburgh.
